FAQ

Frequently asked questions about awesome-skills.


General

What is awesome-skills?

A curated, multi-tool library of reusable Skills, Agents & Plugins for AI agents. Every entry is procedural memory that works across multiple runtimes from a single canonical SKILL.md.

What does "multi-tool" mean?

Each skill is designed to work across major agent runtimes (Hermes, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, OpenClaw, Roo, Cline, AGY) with thin adaptors — never duplicated logic.

Is this free?

Yes. All skills are open source (MIT License) and free to use.


Installation

How do I install all skills into Hermes?

git clone https://github.com/pedroiff0/awesome-skills.git
cp -r awesome-skills/skills/* ~/.hermes/skills/

How do I install a single skill?

cp -r awesome-skills/skills/<category>/<skill> ~/.hermes/skills/<category>/

Can I use this with Claude Code / Cursor / Windsurf?

Yes. See Multi-Tool Compatibility for the adaptors.


Contributing

How do I contribute a new skill?

  1. Copy templates/skill-template/ to skills/<category>/<new-skill>/
  2. Edit SKILL.md frontmatter and body
  3. Run python3 tools/gen_index.py
  4. Open PR with all seven standard assignments

See Contributing Guide for details.

What are the seven standard assignment fields?

Assignee, Reviewer, Labels, Project, Milestone, Development (linked branch), Relationship (Closes/Relates #N).

What commit convention do you use?

Conventional Commits: feat, fix, refactor, docs, chore, test, ci.


Technical

What's a SKILL.md?

The canonical definition of a skill in Hermes format. Contains YAML frontmatter (name, description, version, author, license, platforms, tags) and markdown body (Trigger, Steps, Pitfalls, Verification).

Where can I find the review standard?

See docs/CODE_REVIEW.md for the severity table and rubrics.

How do I report a security vulnerability?
